- A Binance anunciou que reabrirá suas operações para seus usuários na Bélgica por meio de uma postagem no X.
- A exchange informou que agora apoiará o cadastro de novos usuários.
- A Autoridade Belga de Serviços e Mercados Financeiros solicitou à bolsa que encerrasse as operações em julho de 2023.

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has announced the reopening of its operations in Belgium, and now users can begin with registrations and access to the crypto trading platform’s products and services. Moreover, this statement comes almost three months after the exchange was ordered by the country’s finance regulator to cease cryptocurrency-related services.
É importante mencionar aqui que em julho de 2023 o regulador financeiro do país a Autoridade Belga de Serviços e Mercados Financeiros acusado Binance of violating the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws present in the country, asking the exchange to cease all crypto-related services “with immediate effect.”
“We are delighted to announce that, as of today, new registrations of Belgian residents are welcome on our platform once again. In addition, various Binance products and services are accessible again to Belgian users who have accepted our new Terms of Use,” said the crypto exchange.
The regulator asked Binance to contact all its Belgium-based clients and return all crypto and private keys that it had stored. The regulatory action pushed the crypto exchange to divert its services for Belgians through Binance Poland sp. z o.o., the exchange’s registered arm in Poland. Interestingly, the firm registered its Polish arm in January this year.
On the other hand, Binance has announced that it will delist all the stablecoins in the European region by 2024 in order to comply with the European Union’s incoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation, which was passed recently and will go into effect in 2024. However, crypto exchanges in the EU area are trying to acquire registrations and ramp up operations after the passing of the MiCA legislation.
Além disso, a Binance está enfrentando ações rigorosas dos reguladores nos Estados Unidos, com a bolsa demitindo vários funcionários de seu braço nos EUA. Muitos executivos também deixaram a empresa, incluindo o CEO Brian Shroden, que foi nomeado há pouco tempo. De acordo com um relatório anterior da Bitnation, a bolsa líder procura rejeitar a ação movida pela Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dos EUA também.
